Had any Texas Tech football fan been given the power to construct the perfect game for new head coach Matt Wells to debut with, he or she would have been hard-pressed to craft a better showing than the one the Red Raiders put forth on Saturday afternoon in Lubbock. By dominating top-25 FCS program Montana State 45-10, the new head man at Tech saw his team give the home fans enough to leave them feeling more assured in the direction of the program.
For Wells, it had to be nice to finally be the heavy favorite rather than the sacrificial lamb in a season opener.
